Description

Charles Witherspoon visits the Salvation Army Citadel, calling into the homeless men shelter in Waring Street, Belfast. Charles reports on the work of the charity and how the Salvation Army operates.  

Notes

The Salvation Army was founded by William and Catherine Booth in London in 1865. The movement grew rapidly outside of London and became known as the Christian Mission, with William Booth as its General-Superintendent. In 1878 the name was changed to The Salvation Army and the organisation adopted a quasi-military structure with officers and members wearing a military-style uniform.
